A STUDY has found that one in 20 patients have had the urge to kill their doctor.

The survey questioned 800 Americans who were in pain, undergoing physical rehabilitation or seeking legal compensation for disability to find out their attitude towards their GP.

The researchers from the University of Miami, Florida, found that just over 1 in 20, or five per cent, admitted feeling like they wanted to murder their physician.

David Fishbain, an author of the study, found that distrust of doctors was often the cause of the problem, but understanding who was likely to have a wish to harm and why could help reduce attacks, the New Scientist magazine reports.

Few doctors are actually killed by their patients, but thousands are attacked and injured, Professor Fishbain said.

Even in the control group who were not being treated for any pain, two per cent said they had previously had the urge to kill their doctor.

Which begs the question – how many doctors have felt like killing their patients?
